3 Things that Make a MEANINGFUL Vision | Simon Sinek

Whether you call it a vision, mission, or Just Cause - in order to be worthy of usage, it must be these three things:
- Resilient: able to withhold cultural or economic change
- Inclusive: put into words that inspire us
- Service-oriented: the primary benefactor cannot the contributor

Simon is an unshakable optimist. He believes in a bright future and our ability to build it together.

Described as “a visionary thinker with a rare intellect,” Simon has devoted his professional life to help advance a vision of the world that does not yet exist; a world in which the vast majority of people wake up every single morning inspired, feel safe wherever they are and end the day fulfilled by the work that they do.

Simon is the author of multiple best selling books including Start With Why, Leaders Eat Last, Together is Better, and The Infinite Game.

"You have to make decisions to HELP those that you lead". Beautiful words.

[MonaMarMag]

Most of what we all should remember is that without God in our hearts we going nowhere ( not matter what we do .)

Very well said Simon:
Vision is what you imagine it has to be a just cause and pass the following test:

1-Resilient- Your vision can withstand the cultural, political and technological change.

2-Inclusive - The very words that you choose are an invitation to those who believe what you believe whether they are internal or external or an invitation to those who would like to contribute to what you believe I.e it must be open to everyone to feel part of the cause.

3-Service Oriented - In all relationships there is always a benefactor and contributor. And the primary benefit should always go to those other than the contributors. As a leader you should not make a decision to enrich yourself. You have to  make decisions to help those you lead. You can make money etc but not as a primary benefit.

[UnchainedRain]

To sum up:
Resilient
Inclusive
Service-oriented

In school, we are taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, we are given a test that teaches us a lesson 😊

Best definition of Vision I have run across...
"A picture of the future we seek to create."

Simon's vision aligns with that statement.

*Hello everyone who will see this comment anytime in the future! I hope your 2021 will be so much better than your 2020. Stay strong, I am cheering for you!*

Vision: what you see or imagine. Mission: how to get it and bring it to others.

[I_Am_Griff]

i have watched 8 or 9 videos (just now) about "best brand mission statements" and "top vision statements in business" and people said so many boring/dull descriptions of both "vision" and "mission" and provided examples of top companies like Nike or Tesla or Ikea. i was so turned off by all of it, until i found THIS VIDEO. thank you for providing such a SIMPLE AND SHORT yet powerful set of standards for me to include in my business. now i feel excited!

Vision is what you see for the future, Mission is what you do for that future.

[PracticalInspiration]

From a personal perspective, I found this really interesting and love the points raised. Ultimately, if we work to be in servitude to the needs of others, not only are we more likely to succeed from a financial perspective, but we offer something to help enrich our world around us

Thank you Simon for inspiring me to start my own YouTube channel!😊

[nadeemabbasi]

thanks for explaining in such an elaborate way ! in our Urdu Language we have a saying = Do you wish to enjoy eating mangoes--or--- u wish to count the mango trees!!!! explains the thought process

[Ilovethebush]

the future has no businesses or corporations, only people living harmonious lives.

All the resources already exist and the people are motivated by the highest joy, achieved through the greatest harmony.

There is only calm unity.

[delvonbridges]

This was beyond powerful. Exactly what I needed. Thanks Simon!

Creating visionary statements can help businesses in a number of ways. Perhaps most importantly, it can help to create a clear and shared sense of purpose amongst employees. By articulating the company's ambitions and values, everyone can be aligned and working together towards the same goal. Additionally, having a strong and inspiring vision can also help to attract top talent, customers and investors. Lastly, a well-crafted vision can provide guidance and direction during times of change or uncertainty. In short, creating a visionary statement is an important step for any business that wants to achieve long-term success.

Vision: how the future of business looks like it focuses on tomorrow
Mission: how to get that future it focuses on today's activities to achieve tomorrow's vision.

[ke_win]

I'm as confused as that old man. To me, it's simply the following:
Mission is "why" you start a business - purpose.
Vision is "where" you see the business going - goals.
"How" to get it is the action plan - strategy.
Good value system will keep the business inclusive, resilient and consistent.
